Usually an hour for a decent clean, but at the moment I am doing a quick clean after every ride as the roads are wet and cars in front are flinging all sorts of muck onto the bike.

Roll on summer is all I can say.

Depends!

A wash over takes less than an hour, but I normally do at least one job to it every time I wash it.

One time I might spend some time on the chain and sprockets, next time the frony calipers, etc....

So normally 2 hours.

Bout half an hour if it's the once a week clean. Autosoling the pipes will add another half hour onto that.

All in all with a wash and clean and re lube of chain 2 hours I guess. This would include all of the wheel spokes too!

Mind you Tom I bet you never run out of suitable rags to use with all of those knickers the girls throw at yo u?!
